Quick read
Following his knockout victory over Jack Della Maddalena, Carlos Prates now has ammunition to call out Islam Makhachev by highlighting that he was able to finish Della Maddalena while Makhachev went to a decision. The post suggests this gives Prates legitimate grounds to create media hype and challenge the lightweight champion. The author notes that Makhachev now has multiple potential media-driven opponents building narratives around him. Ian Garry and Shavkat Rakhmonov are also mentioned as fighters in this category, though the post indicates they would not be first in line for such promotional storylines.
